Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

On the one hand, it's hardly a stretch to claim that CIG has no ideas and copies from other, better (meaning all) properties. On the other hand, every movie and TV show ever made with a motorcycle has a shot like that. To assume that's the one because you matched up a screengrab is ... exactly what I expect from these people. Pretty sure if I gave enough of a poo poo I could find the same shot in Street Hawk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLLiqbIkCtw

I for one am extremely excited about the... *checks notes* exclusively ground-based bike, in the game about spaceships, that already has hover bikes, where just touching the ground risks death by clipping. Can't wait!

Only Thirty loving Dollars! What a steal!

Star Citizen - now a ground based racing demo.

Firm believer that muscles conquers all
loving bikes in a fidelitous space sim. Jesus Christ.

It seems like they are going to launch with only 1 system and multiple planets and focus on expanding those planets with further star systems coming in "episodic/patch" releases basically whenever they feel like it/can actually make it work.

Hence the whole "choose your own adventure" theme coming from now is basically make due with what we have and please keep giving us more money so we can make this shitshow last forever.

They are hosed in terms of "server meshing" or whatever. Basically this screams, to me, they can't make it work. So keep people "grounded" and not flying.

Can't complain about long travel times if you never leave the planet! Not that it matters because they ALL look the same. Grey/Brown poo poo stains.

Nonsense! They'll just use the 4 wheeled car physics, and cut off two of the wheels! Or they'll just use the hover bike physics, but the "hover" is 2 feet off of the ground, forever.

See, game dev is easy!

I genuinely can’t wait to find out what happens when the invisible wheels get destroyed on these things lol.

Also I’d like to note that they STILL have the portal axle wrong.

On the plus side. Crysis had motorcycles, so these might actually be physically possible.

Hurray low bar

Did it though? I can't recall bikes in any of the three (1 had Humwees, trucks, boats and a VTOL, 2 had Humwees and 3 had a buggy).

When I started posting in this thread I had just finished high school. In the fall I start a doctoral program. I do believe Star Citizen will still be in development 7 years from now when I finish graduate school. See you all next year

Seems about right. They probably need a hot injection of cash and their guys are probably too busy to actually work on superfluous things like bikes, so they just roll out some concept art and make bank regardless.

Star Citizen Pride?

Is this like the Gay Pride thing? People who are ostracized by society, trying to get accepted?

Will we start seeing Star Citizen Pride marches? With citizens resplendent in their cosplay, marching down the street chanting "Fidelity for all" and "We are not ashamed of our JPGs!"
